Memphis style barbecue is one of the most popular styles in the United States. Memphis style barbecue is mostly made from pork ribs and pork shoulder. Memphis is home to the world-famous Memphis in May competition, where contestants compete in three categories: pulled pork, pork ribs, and the whole pig. Memphis barbecue is slow-cooked in pits. Typically ribs are served either “dry” or “wet.” Instead of a sweet thick sauce, the “wet” ribs mopped in a vinegar, tomato base sauce with spices.
